The mechanism of the excited-state multiple proton transfer reaction for 3-Me-2,6-diazaindole in aqueous solution†
Abstract
The optical properties of 3-Me-2,6-diazaindole in aqueous solution were simulated and then found to compare well with experimental data. Furthermore, the ground state and exited state potential energy surfaces for 3-Me-2,6-diazaindole + L3H2O were constructed, and a new three water molecules-assisted exited state quadruple proton transfer mechanism is proposed.
